Their villages were looted, destroyed by explosives, fire and bulldozed over to prevent their return.

Teddy Katz interviewed Arabs and IDF soldiers and wrote a master's thesis about the massacre that occurred in Tantura and received a 97 grade. A bit later, once the full meaning of these interviews and implications of the actions of the IDF soldiers were publicized, he was sued in court and forced to write a retraction. He quickly retracted this but the judge would not allow this. There was a cover-up.

There is a new, riveting documentary about this shameful event and the actions of the IDF (massacres, rapes, looting, ethnic cleansing) that covers all of this material called Tantura: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgu36w-jYCk
